–>Trama del film:

When a single mother and her six-year-old daughter move to rural France and open a chocolate shop – with Sunday hours – across the street from the local church, they are met with some skepticism. But as soon as they coax the townspeople into enjoying their delicious products, they are warmly welcomed. Written by Anonymous

Vianne Rocher and her young daughter are drifters who are met with skepticism and resistance when they move to a conservative town in rural France and open a chocolate shop during Lent. As Vianne begins to work her magic and help those around her, the townspeople are soon won-over by her exuberance and her delicious chocolates – except for the mayor, who is determined to shut her down. When a group of river drifters visit the town, Vianne teaches the townspeople something about acceptance, and finds love for herself along the way. Written by J. Lake

1960, small town France. Vianne Rocher and her pre-teen daughter move into town and open a chocolate shop just as lent is beginning. The town's small-minded mayor can't accept this and does his best to shut her down, but her warm personality and incredible chocolates manage to win over many townsfolk. Things get shaken up even more when a group of river drifters, led by Roux, stop into town (to the even greater distress of the mayor) and Vianne takes up with him. Meanwhile, she's been helping Josephine out of her abusive marriage and her equally freethinking landlord, Amande Voisin, get together with her grandson, Luc, whose mother doesn't approve of Amande's ways.

First I borrowed this movie from videostore And loved it so much that
soon I bought the DVD so I could watch it again. That's how much i love
it. I truly regret not watching it, while it was in the cinemas, it
would have been great to see it on the big screen. This movie has
everything: humanity, love, magic (and gorgeous cinematography),
comedy, sadness, great acting. There is depth and strength to the
characters in the movie. The costumes and special effects are great
too. I loved the acting and how all these story lines were woven into a
beautiful, delightful fable. This movie has got the heart. The music is
beautiful too, it is so enchanting. It is so wonderful and bittersweet,
like chocolate for the soul 🙂 I strongly recommend it
